    Default Help with My Records!

    What it is:

    I've noticed a few of my records skipping lately. Is it because im not looking after my records, is it because their old or wear & tear, or is it my decks.

    Is there anyway i can get them back?

    Any help much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    if there isnt visible marks on the tracks then id look at your needles first, skips are so annoying arent they
    Sequence is coming. It's going throughout your imagination. It takes you where you've been before. A higher state of mind. Yeah, you remember the early times. Now were trying to take you again. In the deepest seas of your consciousness.....Time never stops

    Finally got round to getting some new carts yesterday. Got some Stantons for £50. Well worth it aswell, big difference in quality and sound.
    And most importantly, hopefully they will look after my records!!

    Bassline Junkie, i would advise you to get some new Carts mate!
